Goodier and Pastorello utilize a cornucopia of primary source material to shed light on a chapter of New York’s history that is vital in understanding the national story of women’s suffrage. And, in doing so, Goodier and Pastorello elevate the personal stories of the New York women and their allies whose heroic efforts were finally realized in 1917. An important and compelling piece of scholarship."</P>Devin Lander, New York State Historian08<P>"Susan Goodier and Karen Pastorello's <I>Women Will Vote</I> is a well-researched, well-conceived, and well-written study of the long struggle in New York State for women's right to vote. New York has long been acknowledged as having special historical significance to the suffrage movement. But no one has studied its evolution. Now this excellent book, full of new information, fills in the gaps and extends our understanding of women suffrage."</P>Jean H. Baker, Bennett-Harwood Professor of History, Goucher College, author of<I> Sisters: The Lives of America's Suffragists</I>08<P>"<I>Women Will Vote</I> is an important book that fills in a glaring absence in the literature, ensuring that students and scholars today will have a really strong sense of New York's suffrage experience."</P>Laura Free, author of <I>Suffrage Reconstructed</I>08<P>"At last! We have a fine history of the women’s suffrage movement in New York State. <I>Women Will Vote</I> will make you think about how democracy really works. Read it!"</P>Judith Wellman, author of <I>The Road to Seneca Falls</I>08<P>"Goodier and Pastorello’s key intervention is their ability to connect suffrage activism in New York City to community efforts across the state, demonstrating that suffrage activism was not exclusive to the city. By placing New York State at the center of their work, Goodier and Pastorello are able to flesh out the movement’s nuance, widening their scope to encompass a breadth of suffrage activists and organizations, like the Jamestown Political Equality Club (1887), one of the many political coalitions for women in upstate New York."</P>Marcela MicucciThe Gotham Center for NYC History Blog08<P>"(Starred Review) In 1917, a referendum granting women in New York State full suffrage finally passed, an accomplishment activists had been working toward since the mid-19th century. Goodier (history, State Univ. of New York, Oneonta; <I>No Vote for Women</I>) and Pastorello (history, Tompkins Cortland Community Coll.; <I>The Progressives</I>) explore the people and events that made this milestone possible. The authors primarily focus on the many who contributed to the cause of suffrage, including well-known figures such as Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton while also introducing readers to Max Eastman, Carrie Chapman Catt, and other equally important but lesser-known suffragists.... Goodier and Pastorello offer a thorough perspective of the long struggle for voting equality in New York—and the first step toward equal rights. VERDICT Highly recommended to those interested in women's history as well as the history of New York State. The work is particularly timely with the centennial of the successful referendum in November 2017."</P>Library Journal060301http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/resources/titles/80140100985200/images/44ece762ae7e41e3a0b1301488907eaa/HIGHQ/9781501705557.jpg20170323070301http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/resources/titles/80140100985200/images/44ece762ae7e41e3a0b1301488907eaa/THUMBNAIL/9781501705557.jpg20170323180301http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/resources/publishers/63.jpg02http://www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/?GCOI=8014010098520001Publisher's proprietary name codeThree HillsThree Hills01022021862Cornell University PressIthacaUS0420170915201701WORLD019in026in031.07in0818oz0122.86cm0215.24cm032.72cm08510gr06159781501713200002PDF06159781501713194029ePub065013546051314NBN International+44 (0) 1752 202301+44 (0) 1752 202333orders@nbninternational.com33www.nbninternational.comhttp://www.nbninternational.com03AL AD AM AT AZ BY BE BA BG HR CY CZ DK EE FO FI FR GE DE GI GR HU IS IE IT KZ LV LI LT MT MD BV HM MK PS230123.95GBP072033151Longleaf Services80084862248002726817customerservice@longleafservices.org02AI AG AR AW BS BB BZ BM BO BR KY CL CO CR CU DM DO EC SV FK GF GL GD GP GT GY HT HN JM MQ MX MS AN NI PA PY PE PR KN LC VC PM SR TT TC US UY VE VG VI02Y2320170807180102Cornell University Presst29.95USD
